PARASITOLOGY 1. THE AREA OF BIOLOGY CONCERNED W/ THE PHENOMENON OF DEPENDENCE OF ONE LIVING ORGANISM ON ANOTHER
2.

LARGELY A STUDY OF SYMBIOSIS, OR, LITERALLY, LIVING TOGETHER.

SYMBIOSIS: CLOSE ASSOCIATION OF TWO LIVE ORGANISMS (USUALLY OF DIFFERENT SPECIES) PARASITE LIVES ON OR IN ITS HOST COMMENSALISM: THE PARASITE DERIVES BENEFIT WO/ RECIPROCATING & WO/ INJURY TO THE HOST MUTUALISM: BENEFICIAL TO BOTH ASSOCIATES PARASITISM: THE PARASITE HARMS ITS HOST OR IN SOME SENSE LIVES AT THE EXPENSE OF THE HOST VECTORS: HOSTS THAT TRANSMIT PARASITES TO HUMAN

VECTORS 1. BIOLOGIC VECTORS: ESSENTIAL IN THE LIFE CYCLE


2.

PHORETIC (MECHANICAL) VECTORS: NOT ESSENTIAL IN THE LIFE CYCLE

ECTOPARASITE: PARASITE LIVES ON THE SURFACE OF ITS HOST ENDOPARASITE: LIVES IN ITS HOST OBLIGATE PARASITE: IT CANT EXIST WO/ A HOST FACULTATIVE PARASITE: NORMALLY NOT PARASITIC BUT CAN BECOME SO WHEN IT ACCIDENTALLY EATEN OR ENTER HUMAN BODY

HOST 1. DEFINITIVE: SPECIFIC FOR A PARTICULAR SPECIES OF PARASITE 2. INTERMEDIATE: REQUIRED FOR PARASITE DEVELOPMENT BUT ONE IN WHICH DOESNT REACH SEXUAL MATURITY 3. RESERVOIR: ANY ANIMAL THAT HARBORS AN INFECTION THAT CAN TRANSMITTED TO HUMANS 4. INCIDENTAL: INCIDENTALLY INVOLVED AS A HOST 5. PARATENIC (TRANSPORT): PARASITE DOESNT UNDERGO ANY DEVELOPMENT BUT IN WHICH IT REMAINS ALIVE & INFECTIVE TO ANOTHER HOST

ZOONOSIS 1. DISEASE OF ANIMAL 2. DISEASES OF ANIMALS THAT ARE TRANSMISSIBLE TO HUMAN

INFECTION 1. THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARASITE TO ITS HOST 2. APPROPRIATE DESIGNATION FOR ALL ANIMAL SPECIES THAT ARE ENDOPARASITE INFESTATION 1. THOSE THAT ARE ECTOPARASITE 2. MOST FREQUENTLY APPLIED TO SPECIES OF ARTHROPODS
